Our Opinion: Located near a cluster of farmhouses above the valley and next to a monastery, this small, 12 suite lodge offers gorgeous views of the Phobjikha Valley.

"We felt superbly looked after by all the staff on the boat and the chef just got it all right - portions, variety, spiciness and a wonderful touch to be introduced to each dish with such pride. Mansoor was knowledgeable, polite and accommodating. He engineered all the trips, entertainment etc very well, anticipating our interests and needs. The camp facilities were great and what a spot! I felt wonderfully looked after the entire trip and importantly felt safe. There were smiling, welcoming faces wherever we went. Particularly outstanding was the lunch we had in the family home on our day trip out from Lake Dal. My many thanks go to the whole team."

“We had a FLAWLESS trip. Loved every bit of it. The organisation on the ground was terrific, and we happily and easily provided feedback for Aitken Spence that seemed to tick “excellent” in each box. Such careful organisation allowed us really to enjoy all the different parts of the country - which we did, in spades. I honestly would so thoroughly recommend Sri Lanka to other families looking for a bit of adventure in a do-able way/space. Thanks again for making these memories for us.“
The C. Family - Sri Lanka: March
"Our trip was just fantastic, and we could not have enjoyed it more. Everything worked like clockwork and the organisation was first-class. We packed a lot in but the comfort of the road transport meant that the journeys in between were more relaxing than trying. The stand-out part of the whole trip was Chhatra Sagar... It was altogether a brilliant holiday. We are so grateful to you for all your expertise and organisation, and we arrived back home (freezing temperatures and run out of heating oil!) thinking where we should go next (once we have replenished the coffers…) With our best wishes, and our thanks again".
The L. Family - India: April
"Things have slightly calmed down since my return from India and I thought I must write to say thank you for the wonderful experience of Kerala. I am much richer for the experience and think about all the things we did often. It is all thanks to you that I can add Kerala to my memory bank".
